Pagani of Nashville – 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

Crystal Laurite Silver Metallic over Red Silver Arrow Leather
7,930 Miles
VIN: WDDAJ76F05M000298

Born from the Formula 1 partnership between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, the SLR McLaren was conceived to combine supercar performance with the comfort and usability of a long-distance grand tourer. Its carbon fiber monocoque chassis, supercharged AMG V8, and advanced aerodynamics made it one of the most technologically advanced road cars of its era.

Performance & Engineering

At its heart lies a hand-built 5.4L supercharged V8, mounted behind the front axle for ideal weight distribution. Producing 617 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque, the SLR accelerates from 0–60 mph in just 3.8 seconds and continues to a top speed of 206 mph. A robust 5-speed AMG Speedshift R transmission was chosen for its durability at high speeds and smooth power delivery—ideal for both high-performance driving and grand touring.

The SLR’s Sensotronic carbon-ceramic brakes deliver incredible stopping power, aided by an active rear airbrake that deploys under hard braking or at high speeds. Side-exit exhausts, positioned just ahead of the doors, create an unmistakable auditory signature.

About This Example

Finished in Crystal Laurite Silver Metallic—the model’s signature launch color—over a vibrant Red Silver Arrow leather interior, this early-production SLR presents in exceptionally original condition. With just 7,930 miles from new, it remains unmodified, meticulously maintained, and true to its factory specification.

All body panels, interior surfaces, and wheels present as original and well-kept, showing only minimal signs of use consistent with mileage. The carbon fiber bodywork and aerodynamic surfaces remain free of alterations, preserving the car’s authentic design.

Rarity & Significance

Produced between 2004 and 2009 in limited numbers—just over 2,100 coupes worldwide—the SLR McLaren remains highly sought after by collectors. Its blend of F1-derived engineering, supercar performance, and everyday usability sets it apart from contemporaries like the Ferrari Enzo and Porsche Carrera GT. Early, low-mileage, unmodified examples like this are increasingly scarce, making this a standout acquisition for any discerning collection.
